Another downtown project announced today for intersection of Stone Avenue and Rowley Street. JSD designed the Bookends so maybe this will be fairly nice looking. I like how the building will be up against the street with parking in the back. Residential and commercial space is planned. Max height of structure is 56 feet 4 inches above Stone Avenue street level. Looking forward to some renderings: http://www.greenvillesc.gov/Planning...wleyStreet.pdf This is the developer: http://www.bluewallre.com/

On Monday, City Council will vote on agreement to build a $11.5 mm, 470 space garage as part of the third phase. BofA demo. due to be completed by 3/31/14. 35,000 SF of retail and 125 room hotel are the expected uses, although a substitution is allowed for the hotel.

Just read the article from the Greenville News and had no idea the Scott Towers redevelopment developers were planning something like McBee Station on site. Woodside Mill and the nearby Garden Apartments are also included within the development plans. That's three separate potential mixed-use/renovated apartment developments just announced for the downtown area...nice.

At first glance, the drawing looks like McBee Station in downtown Greenville, but it’s not.

The rendering is for Scott Tower and what a national developer has in mind for the now-vacant public housing project.

Greenville Housing Authority officials on Thursday said they have put the demolition of Scott Tower on hold while they begin negotiations with the St. Louis development firm McCormack Baron Salazar.

The firm’s $37 million tax credit-funded, mixed-income project would include the construction of 197 new apartments in four buildings at the Scott Tower site, 49 of which would be considered affordable housing.

Nearby Garden Apartments would be updated as well and 62 more subsidized units for seniors built, according to Housing Authority documents.

Conceptual drawings by Greenville architects McMillan Pazdan Smith show four-story brick facades with large windows, surface parking and outdoor green space. The corner of Augusta and Thurston streets could have a first-floor commercial space.

Ongoing negotiations with McCormack Baron also could involve a project at historic Woodside Mill in West Greenville. Herrera said the firm has partnered with Asheville-based Reliance Housing, who had previously proposed 300 apartments on the site, along with a dog park, fitness center and artist studios.

That plan fell through, but new tax credits now available for vacant buildings would “probably make that project much more credible than just a few months ago,” Herrera said.

Developers want to annex Woodside Mill into the city and build 138 affordable units for seniors in partnership with the Housing Authority, she said.

A developer wants to take out the old, dilapidated building on the corner of Stone Ave. and Rowley St. and replace it with mixed-use building, complete with 51 apartments and 1,600 square feet of commercial space.

It would be four stories high on Stone Ave. and two stories high on Rowley St.
